Product Specifications.

Cyanoacrylate Adhesives

Permabond’s cyanoacrylate adhesives (also called instant adhesives or super glue) cure by reacting to very small amounts of moisture on the surface of the components being bonded. Whether you are using cyanoacrylates for bonding, sealing, tamper proofing, wire tacking or simply as a manufacturing aid while you wait for another adhesive to set, Permabond’s research and development team continually push the limits of cyanoacrylate technology. These include the following grades.

High temperature resistance. Permabond products 919, 920, and 922 resist up to 250°C (482°F) after a secondary heat cure. Permabond 820 offers the highest temperature resistance the technology will withstand 200°C (390°F) without the need for a secondary heat cure.

Non drip gels.Permabond has many very high viscosity cyanoacrylates and offers a true thixotropic gel adhesive. This thixotropic gel was specially formulated for applications that require the adhesive to stay in place even on vertical surfaces. The gel is also surface insensitive so it bonds a wide variety of substrates including acidic substrates.

Low Odor – Non-Blooming. Blooming can be seen as a fine white residue which surrounds the bond area. Permabonds 940 series is non-blooming and virtually odor free. Permabond’s chemists perfected the low odor technology so the adhesives are fast curing and provide high strength to a variety of surfaces.

Toughened – for Improved Impact Resistance. By nature cyanoacrylates are not incredibly impact resistant. Permabond’s toughened grades, Permabond 731, 735 and 737 provide the ultimate impact and peel resistance. They were initially designed for flexible substrates but the added flexibility and toughness of these products provides even greater shear strength on rigid materials like steel. Permabond 735 and 737 are opaque black and Permabond 731 is crystal clear.

NSF Non Food Compound P1.Permabond 2011 Gel is listed on the NSF non-food compounds registry. Permabond 2011 is a non-sag, non-drip, thixotropic gel which forms strong bonds to metal, plastics, elastomers, ceramics, and wood. This product has excellent gap fill capability, {(0.50mm) 0.020 in} and develops strength rapidly. Handling time can be achieved in less than 10 seconds. Once fully cured the bonds are high temperature resistant {(-55 to +120°C) -65 to +250°F} and have good resistance to non-polar solvents. In addition to Permabond 2011 now registered as NSF P1, Permabond has several products listed to NSF/ANSI 61 for potable water as well as epoxies that comply with the FDA Food Grade Codes CFR 175.105 and 175.300.

Anaerobic Adhesives & Sealants

There are 4 basic types of anaerobic sealant adhesives, namely:

Retaining compound – these bond and seal cylindrical joints. Permabond has designed and formulated adhesives and sealants to replace or augment mechanical joining methods of cylindrical metal joints such as keyways, interference fits, or shrink fits. Permabond’s anaerobic retaining compounds fill voids – providing 100% surface-to-surface contact while mechanical joining techniques provide only 20% of surface-to-surface contact. The increased surface area directly relates to greater load carrying capacity providing more than 5 times that of mechanical joining techniques. The increase in strength allows engineers to relax machine tolerances, eliminate the need for heated joining processes and provides them a method which increases the life of the components.

Threadlocker – which bond and seals threaded metal fasteners. Permabond’s threadlockers prevent loosening due to vibration or thermal expansion on all metal threaded fasteners and provide corrosion resistant seals. Threadlockers are more cost effective and out-perform alternative locking means such as lock washers, locking threads, and studs. Permabond’s have a full range of anaerobic adhesive threadlockers which cover a very large range of viscosity spans from very low wicking grades for post assembly sealing and weld porosity sealing to high viscosity for large nuts and bolts. Permabond threadlockers are available in permanent and removable grades as well as high temperature resistant grades. Threadlockers are used throughout various industries so Permabond has a variety of approvals and specifications including military specified grades and NSF/ANSI 61 certified products for potable water.

Thread sealant – which bond and seal threaded pipes and fittings. Permabond pipesealing (thread sealing) adhesive sealants are used in various industries including sprinklers pipework systems for fire protection, HVAC, and plumbing. These PTFE based formulations allow easy assembly and provide an instant seal of 1000 psi and final cure strength generally exceeds that of most metal pipe material. They cure when confined from oxygen on the metal threads and form a seal which is inert to water, steam, hydrocarbons, most acids, solvents, and glycol-based products. The product line covers a full range of viscosities and includes products with NSF/ANSI 61 certification and hydraulics grades.

FIP Form in place gasket – FIPs create a gasket directly on a part. Permabond’s FIP gasketing adhesives include high viscosity sealants which improve load transfer and stress distribution across flanges. Products set rapidly and provide corrosion resistant seal integrity while eliminating the need for re-tightening flange bolts. Any number of shapes of gaskets can be made so there is no need to stock numerous sizes of pre-cut gaskets. Permabond’s FIP gasketing anaerobic sealants are for metal to metal applications. High strength and high temperature resistant products are available as well as very flexible FIP gaskets which are specifically designed to be easy to remove from soft metals such as brass and aluminum.

Epoxies in two part and single part

Permabond single-part epoxy adhesives are suitable for bonding a wide variety of materials. They are available with a range of different viscosities and with and without metal filler. Permabond epoxies have been developed to offer a high standard of performance for demanding bonding applications.

Key points of using two part epoxies are.

High peel strength increases design versatility.

Durability increases material choices.

Rapid cure increases production rates.

Solvent free improves workplace safety.

Room temperature cure reduces equipment & energy costs.

Low odor improves workplace environment.

Key points of using Single part epoxies are.

Solvent free improves workplace safety.

Cost savings over brazing and welding.

Low odor improves workplace environment.

UV curable adhesives

Permabond UV Glue (UV and Visible Light Cure Adhesives) cure quickly when exposed to light of the appropriate wavelength and intensity. They are one component adhesives which are solvent free (100% solids) and are ideal for many applications in which glass or plastic which are able to convey UV or visible light is bonded to itself or metals and other substrates.

Permabond UV curable adhesives are used in industries as diverse as munitions to art glass. Permabond has a long history of supplying the decorative and art glass industries with UV activated glues. Permabond is the preferred choice for the strength and clarity needed in this industry. Similarly, the beveled glass industry uses specialty UV glass adhesives with a controlled cure. In many industries, manufacturers often desire the fastest cure process available. Cure speeds of UV curable adhesives are adaptable to the application. Cure time is dependent on several parameters and can be adjusted by changing the light intensity or distance of the light from the assembly or by adding another UV lamp onto the production line.

Key points of using UV curable products are.

High Strength Bonds.

Cure Only When Exposed to Light – permits alignment of parts prior to bonding.

Select a Cure Speed – double production speed by simply adding another lamp to the line.

Technical Support – application specialists available for assistance with joint design, adhesive selection, and production process.

Structural acrylic and flexible adhesives

Permabond manufactures several types of flexible adhesives to meet the growing demands of industrial engineers. Modified Epoxy and MS Polymer-based adhesive offer a high level of flexibility and each provides unique benefits. The flexibility combined with low shrinkage make them ideal for bonding thin substrates with no read through. They are also suitable for potting electronics without exerting stress on sensitive components.

Key points of using acrylic adhesives are.

No-mix adhesives with separate resin and initiator – adhesive is applied to one substrate and the initiator is applied to the other.

Single component – relies on at least one surface being an active metal to trigger the cure.
